I looked for a Wireless N router the newest form of wireless connectivity as most of my computers and consoles Xbox 360 has a new wireless dongle now have Wireless N technology. This was cheap and had pretty decent reviews so I decided to take a chance. The item arrived pretty fast and in great I’d say practically brand new condition and was easy to install. But, after only some hours of use, I noticed some number of problems with this unit. Most of the problems seemed to be with my Macbook Pro, it was not to get a full signal, speeds were slow, and whenever I opened iChat, the router could instantly restart itself. After going through the annoyance of buying and installing it, I decided to attempt something else before sending it back: I installed DD WRT open source firmware on the router, and have not looked back since.
I have never used open source firmware before, but I had read up about it before buying a router again. Though the DD WRT web site listed this as not matched, I bought this anyway in hopes that sooner or later it could be released. DD WRT for this router version 3 was not supported till literally two weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to find a release of it on the DD WRT support forums easily found by doing a fast search on Google for “DD WRT WRT160Nv3″. After downloading the mini pack and the standard pack listed as WRT160Nv3 in the file name I loaded the router access page 192.168.1.1 and did a web firmware update thru my FireFox browser, 1st starting with the mini pack, and once that’s finished, then with the standard firmware for this router.
It was as easy as that, and took literally four minutes to upgrade it. Now, this router was perfect. It has not been restarted once since it has been updated with DD WRT, the speed is great, and in general, I’m very happy to upgraded with the new firmware. The DD WRT firmware also has many great features like bandwidth monitoring, signal modification and strength meter, great security features and tons more that the standard Linksys firmware does not include. Please note: there’s a slight chance DD WRT could brick aka destroy your router, though it does not seem to happen frequently. Be sure you read the DD WRT web site and support thread on this router completely before upgrading it. With that said, it was the simplest and least painful upgrade I have ever done, and now this router works great.

This router gives me full service despite of where I’m in the house. It’s also observably faster than my old Linksys WRT54G. Between purchasing for friends and family this is the 3rd refurbished router I have bought and I have never had an issue with any of them. Don’t hesitate to purchase a Linksys refurbished router, they’re a hard product!

Horrible product, unreliable,

Alright, as a long time user of linksys wireless routers, I think I knew what to expect here, and I didn’t get what I expected, thats for sure. This product is unreliable. The wireless signal drops, constantly a refurb unit, I know, but after researching the WRT160N on the internet, the signal drops are clearly a systemic problem with the unit.
In fact, has a separate part number just for WRT160N refurbs WRT160N RM what does that tell you? There are a ton of these flying around, in fact my unit looked totally new out of box it most likely WAS new but with the out of box systemic wireless signal dropping flaw, back it goes to for a second attempt at a refurb sale.
A not many more details,
The setup is easy and improved from my older wireless G. Nice improvement in the easy use area.
Router starts up well, signal is strong and speed is remaining to my XP laptop with odyssey client in the other room. All is well.
. three hours pass.
Signal on my home network starts going in and out on my laptop sitting ten ft away from the router. The green bars go from excellent to good to just good. Hmm.
Then, poof, all white bars on my laptop, no more signal. I go check the router. All looks good the lights are all working. I connect the hard wire ethernet cable to the router, internet connectivity is good.
Wait about 35 minutes the signal from the WRT160N comes back great! I have wireless connectivity for ten minutes, then white bars again. Reboot computer, no luck. Delete the home network connection and recreate. No luck.
Finally go check . For support notes on this signal in and out issue WOW! literally hundreds of blogs and rants on the web about the WRT160N dropping connections.
Final chapter box it up and send it back to amazon. As much as it pains me to purchase a near out of date product, I’ll buy another Wireless G router from linksys. Those work like a charm.
